[Verse 1: Elvis Presley]
I've gotta gal, oh what a pal
The apple of my eye
With something rare, a peach of a pear
But her dad won't let us meet and I could die

[Verse 2: Elvis Presley & Donna Douglas]
I love Petunia, the gardener's daughter
Oh, how that gal can kiss
Her eyes are blue as bluebells
Each cheek a rose to see
How I dance when she plants her two lips on me
I'm as daffy as a daffodil
I long to kiss her all the time
Tonight I'll steal into her garden
And make Petunia's two lips mine

[Verse 3: Elvis Presley & Donna Douglas]
I've got a beau, I love him so
The apple of my eye
With something rare, a peach of a pear
But my dad won't let us meet and I could die
And we could die

[Verse 4: Elvis Presley & Donna Douglas]
I love Petunia, the gardener's daughter
Oh, how that gal can kiss
My eyes are blue as bluebells
Each cheek a rose to see
How I dance when she plants her two lips on me

[Verse 5: Elvis Presley & Donna Douglas]
He's as daffy as a daffodil
He loves to kiss me all the time
Tonight I'll steal into her garden
And make Petunia's two lips mine

[Verse 6: Elvis Presley & Donna Douglas]
She makes other girls look just like weeds
I'm gonna be his clinging vine
Tonight I'll steal into her garden
And make Petunia's two lips
My ever loving two lips
Make Petunia's two lips mine

Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
